using camera views

i was woundering whether this is possible in reality factory:
to use the first person camera view but instead of a gun in view to use a character looking slightly to the right and being positioned to the bottom left handside of the screen like the ghost recon games in single player mode.
i have experimented with the 3rd person view but its not what i want you will only see the top half of my character to keep the poly count low and position the character to the bottom left of the screen and use the same cross hair gun site as first person view.
thanks

so its technially third person with cam over shoulder?
you can do this several ways
A. Make the gun model instead of a gun, have a person holding a gun and adjust it torwards where u want it
B. Make the pawn follow the player and attach the cam to it

well if you make ur gun with the person carrying it, you scale down the model and bring it closer to the cam so its fine
for the pawn you could just use the player as the person with the gun so his bounding box will collide
